Abstract: The first section of the paper is on the current educational system in Iceland, as defined by its legal framework. Then we describe its course of development for a century, suggesting a theoretical framework which might be useful in chartering the progress being made. The last chapter discusses educational participation and non-participation and drop-out as a characteristics of Icelandic education.
